What a great story! I love everything about it! Before I read this I was going to say something witty about the desclaimer because I thought I deserves reccognition. And since no one else said anything about it. But then I read this and I realized why no one said anything. The story deserves more reccognition than the disclaimer, though admittedly it was very funny.

Now I know not only are your comedies entirely fantastic but so are the tradegies! Great job! *hugs and hershey kisses* Emmy

Suddenly Severus became very angry. “You coward,” he said, his voice rising in volume as he went on. “You have the nerve to die now, in the middle of a war? Potter needs you! Lupin needs you!"

Indeed, damn him for dying XP.

Again, good work ^^

Oh for Crissake (I wanted to use a much stronger expletive here, but I have the feeling it would be removed.) You wrote that so well, I felt, well, I don't exactly know what I felt, but you wrote it in a way I could only dream of. Not many people can evoke feeling in such a way that can evoke feels that don't have no names. Sirius's "last words" were so appropriate for Snape. *Rolls eyes* this is one of the cheesiest reviews. Oh well, I believe the intended cussing leveled it off.

It probably should end like that. I'm glad you thought of it. Of the bunch, Remus was not absolutely horrible to Snape (not that he was brilliantly nice, either). Remus seems like he would be cool headed about ending the feud.

Nicely done.

That is a beautifully written piece. Sometimes when a tragedy or startling event occurs my experience is that people's reactions can be quite different from what you might expect, and you have illustrated that really well here. I also liked the way that you left the emotion fairly understated, as both Lupin and Snape are quite controlled and considered people and it seems very IC for them both. Poor Severus - who would have thought he might miss Sirius now that he's gone?

That was very well done. I don't see it happening, but if it did, this would be the way to put it into words. Very tight writing reflects very tight emotions. And that works very well for these two mostly emotionless characters. The whole style gives the impression of repressed emotions/personalities. One of the best jobs I've seen of using a style to bring forth characters without having to use words. Just great! As usual!

He snorted quietly. Those were not Black's last words. They'd probably been something far more childish, such as “You can't get me, nya nya!” or the like.

That made me laugh out loud.

Severus turned to say something nasty, but upon seeing Lupin's face, stopped himself. He was smiling, but in an odd, lethargic way that suggested he was only smiling because it was easier than frowning. “Good God, Lupin, you look awful.”

“Do I? I hadn't noticed.” His eyes were bloodshot and his voice was hoarse; he looked like he wasn't too far off the grave himself.

That made me very sad. kudos. tear tear.

Dude...wow. It continually amazes me that you can consistently keep everyone in character, no matter what situations you put them all in. Your Snape "feels" true, even if I doubt that JKR would ever allow us to see that much humanity in him.

Wow, that was very different from anything I've ever read before. I loved that your Snape remained Snape, yet was mourning Sirius. It was very real, and it was very well written.
